Thanks Rob. Not looking like that same person is DEFINITELY a good thing!!!

Laurie you are so pretty! I love red hair. But I really can't get over the fact that you are 52!!!! If you said you were my age, 30, I'd totally believe it.

I actually uploaded a current picture from today, bc those were over a month old, but it's pending.

Thanks so much, Eve! I've been lucky that I don't have too much grey in my red hair yet.

You're so kind! Fortunately, pictures don't always show the wrinkles, but I certainly have my share.

Thanks! I tell him that all the time. The change in him has been phenomenal. When he lost his first 75 pounds, there were many people who actually walked right past him without recognizing him. I'm so proud of him and thankful that he has supported me through every bump in the road and that he has totally embraced this lifestyle.

OzDancer, you've done an amazing job! You look so much younger now. I think that's a common thing I see around here. Excess weight really ages us. Rachel, you're looking fabulous! You should be so proud of your success.

I've got to dig out my "before" befores from before - 200 lbs on a small 5'2" frame is pretty darn big, let me tell ya. Then I can post my "first" afters at 135, but then will also have to post my "now" befores at 170, and my "durings" now at 150. Hopefully there'll be some final afters when I lose the rest of this extra flab. It better be final, because I am sure not going to let this happen again!
